Is anyone offering tickets/vouchers that allow for entry on any date?
How do you do it? Are you able to sell it in advance online? Does it scan?
Thanks,

Our group sales department does non dated tickets. We set it up as a monthly event, in its own production, and good for 1 year. The start date is the beginning of the month and the end date being the end of the month for the next year. The tickets do scan during that time frame. We are looking at putting them online to select groups, I will more than likely use a promo code so they are not public.
Pam, that sounds like a good option. We might look into that.
How does that impact your reporting, though? How do you get an accurate count of who actually attended today?
We use Attendance by Performance a lot, but that wouldn't work if the performance date and the attendance date are wildly different.

Hi Shelly!
We have a similar set up to the one Pam describes above, and to record admission, we have a comp redemption price type that guest services sells in exchange for the ticket presented at the point of entry, in lieu of scanning.
I figured I'd offer that up, but Pam may have devised a better route. Hope this helps!

We struggle with the reporting. the ND ticketing all shows up at the end of the month. We haven't found a work around for it yet.
